Logistics
You will fly in and out from the airport in Tromsø. We recommend spending a day or two in Tromsø, either before or after the tour with us. There is wide range of accommodation opportunities as-well as activities to do. You are required to carry a valid passport, and some nationalities require a visa in advance. We strongly recommend you to buy a personal travel insurance.
Clothing and equipment
Both Summer and winter in Tromsø and Norther Norway is very unpredictable. It can be sunny and 10 degrees celsius, and suddenly the weather can change to be minus 5 degrees celsius (feels like -10) with cold winds and snow furries (summer). In winter periode the temperature can be as low as - 15 degrees but normally between +5 to -5 degree.. But We usually say that you will experience all 4 seasons during the duration of the trip. Clothing wise, we recommend that you follow the 3 layer principal, starting with a solid wool layer closest to the body, adding another layer with a warm sweater or fleece and some outdoor trousers. And a final layer water and wind proof layer of jacket and trousers. Some good qulity wool socks, waterproof mittens or gloves and a warm beanie or hat.
We recommend bringing the following equipment:
- Camera
- A good pair of binoculars (they will quickly become your best friend)
- Sunglasses (the sun can be very sharp)
- Hiking boots or warm waterproof rubber boots.
- Lip balm and hand lotion. Your skin tend to dry out in cold and dry air.
